Romney's numbers, positions don't add up

Mitt Romney "will create 12 million jobs in four years." Do the math. If he's elected, in 2016, with 4.5 percent unemployment, we will have 18.5 million unemployed or not looking.

Romney: "Health care should be the province of each state according to their special needs." Hell will freeze over before meaningful health care will be achieved by all 50 states. Americans do not have "special needs" when it comes to their health, ergo it must be universal.

Romney: "Reducing taxes by $5 trillion" never will be deficit-neutral. Eliminating loopholes and deductions is not enough. Without increasing revenues, the deficit will go out of sight.

Romney: "Let GM go bankrupt." He changed his position on abortion, is in agreement with Todd Akin, bilked companies dry with minimum success, built riches on the backs of American workers. All legal but.
